Better Off Solo:
Name | New Career | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Brian Eno" | "Eno was ALWAYS better off solo, he just didn't know it. With a huge potential to multi-task, other artists were more than willing to share the spotlight (David Bowie and Robert Fripp to name just a couple). In the seventies, his solo work was creative to the extent that it falls into the category of Jaw-dropping, and made Roxy Music sound very much like Roxy Two-Step" | - princejellyfish |

Repetitive Lyrics:
"Mother Of Pearl"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Oh mother of pearl, I wouldn't change you for another girl
Why They're Repetitive: repeated quite a lot of times towards the end of the song
Submitted by: StranoMostro
| "For Your Pleasure"
The Repetitive Lyrics: You watch me walk away...
Taraa, taraa...(x100) Why They're Repetitive: Look, I love Roxy Music, they're one of my favorite bands, but this just doesn't cut it. It's a 7 minute song, but the actual song part is less than 3 minutes, with the remainder filled up by all those damn 'taraa taraas!' What the hell does 'taraa taraa' mean anyways?! It sort of sounds like 'nanu, nanu' to me, even though this was before the time of Mork & Mindy.

Song Title Anagrams:
"A Thin Thermos" originally "More Than This"
Submitted by: Josh
Lyrics Pronunciation:
"Mother Of Pearl"
The Lyrics: But no dilettante, filigree fancy
Beats the plastic you Why: In order to make it rhyme with "fancy," Bryan Ferry pronounces "dilettante" as "dill-uh-TANT-ee," when it is actually "DILL-uh-tont!" (As this song taught me the word "dilettante" in the first place, needless to say, it puzzled me quite a bit!)
